Construction of my new woodie will hopefully begin tonight.The structure will be made up of brown rods insted of the shorter blue rods.The coaster will be medium length will a height of 10 brown granit rods.Unfortunately I dont know how to post pics so I will just have to do construction updates with Youtube.I hope you dont mind this but please stay tuned for updates.one more thing does anyone have name ideas?

[SteelConviction]

1st thing look under tutorials under forums and at the top it says how to post pics. And I got a pretty good name how about Forest Fire???

[Coasteradict]

Or use the gallery.

10 granites is a little tall, how many pieces do you have?

[MP thrill rides]

If you want to know how many pieces I have you can look at the forum How many pieces do you have.Im to lazy to wright it all down.I will try to figure out have to do pics.Construction has begun.

Are you aware that a 45* 10 granite tall lift will use 275 rods, just for a right angle. (not including top and drop)

[MP thrill rides]

^No I did not know that.Because it uses that much pieces I will be putting yellow rods in between the supports (I hope it wont look to bad).I might make it a little smaller.

Thank for the help I hope this works.

That looks great! I would say ethier don't bank that turn after the pre-drop or bank it at 20o or something. It won't look right if it is 45o.

Did I not say "this builder has Potential!"

You are awesome man! total respect! whats the layout?

Looks nice, but I think you should have the turn 1 blue higher, and a little less banked. It'll go through with much more realistic speed. And if you're doing max crossties, you should take out those orange connectors so there aren't large spaces (look at the lift).

^thanks for the help I will try to fix all of these problems as
soon as posseble.^^you will just have to wait and see.construction might be slow on the weekend because I will be taking down Diamondback and I will have a football game. I think I can find time.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

The transition between the crest and the turn is too sharp. Try banking the turn less and maybe make the pullout longer.
Also, I don't think the diagonals used in the lift are necessary.

You are epic fail.

Looks good, just do what CAC said.

[da master826]

Looks really good but you should use grey's instead of flexies on the lift cause it's a bit bumpy.

[coastermaniac]

^Is right, use grey for the lift and un-bank that turn or make a small banking.

[MP thrill rides]

Update.Turn is done,gears are on,and test tubing is on.^^Its very hard putting max x ties on grey rods.Please tell me what you think.

[coaster37]

^Looks awesome man! The banking is so much better! The only thing i might point out is the crest.... I think the right side may need to be raised up.... but mabey not. Good luck on this!

I am Following this coaster!:tmbs

[Jogumpie]

Still, replace flexi's by grey's.

[G Force]

Wow its thats really smooth,cant wait to see the rest of the coaster. I love Woodies.:lov

[coasterfanatic11]

looks pretty good, but the crest is a little off. Fix that and you're golden.
